In my experience, an AdView automatically hides if no ads are present when you use wrap_content for height.

<com.admob.android.ads.AdView
    android:id="@+id/ad"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    myapp:backgroundColor="#000000"
    myapp:primaryTextColor="#FFFFFF"
    myapp:secondaryTextColor="#CCCCCC" />
